Yes the SS4100 is a router for one device only]]>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-get-router-to-work-27928623Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:59:41 EDTRe: Can't get router to workhttp://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-get-router-to-work-27928559

You will decide which device will do the pppoe...... The dsl modem can be configured to do the pppoe or the dsl modem can be configured for bridge mode, when the modem is bridged a router or computer must do the pppoe

are there any benefits to doing the pppoe on the modem or the router?

btw, do you know if the SpeedStream 4100 modem is a router too?]]>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-get-router-to-work-27928559Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:31:54 EDTRe: Can't get router to workhttp://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-get-router-to-work-27928552

You should set the Modem to Bridge Mode/Bridged Ethernet Mode and then setup PPPoE in your Linksys befrsr41. Otherwise you are cascading Routers and performing NAT multiple times (Double-NAT in your case) which isn't the optimal setup.

the cascading and double NAT will happen because the 2200 modem is also a router doc?

and since the 2200 modem is a router too, will it do NAT if you connect the 2200 to the computer alone without a router, thus giving you the security benefits of NAT?]]>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-get-router-to-work-27928552Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:27:13 EDTRe: Can't get router to workhttp://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-get-router-to-work-27924104

Yes the two setups are differentOne setup has the modem bridged with a router doing the pppoeThe other setup has the modem doing the pppoe

I'm curious, what is that dictates who will do the pppoe? I once had a befsr41 and I remember that, unlike the befsr41 setup in this case, it was the dsl modem that handled the pppoe.]]>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-get-router-to-work-27922883Thu, 17 Jan 2013 20:54:47 EDTRe: Can't get router to workhttp://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cant-get-router-to-work-27922626
The gui of the 2210-02-1006 and 2210-02-1002 look different

I'm curious about something. is the linksys befsr41 router any different to setup than an apple airport router? I know the befsr41 is wired and the airport is wireless. I don't mean that. I mean the "bridged mode" thing. if I understand correctly, when you follow the instructions at the above link, the 2210 modem will be put in "bridged mode" and the befsr41 router will handle the pppoe.

I am told to restart "the device." Doesn't say which one (computer, modem router). I tried all. I also reset the router with the little reset button on its back. It's a no-go. Please advise!]]>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Cant-get-router-to-work-27904467Fri, 11 Jan 2013 23:46:35 EDT
